Exploring the Ancient World in English（20K）

Arthur is a university professor of archaeology and anthropology. For years, he has been trying to write the perfect book about ancient cultures. But no matter how hard he tries, he can’t write a book that he is satisfied with. His problem is that he feels that none of the research he finds gives an accurate portrayal of ancient cultures.

Arthur was in his office one day trying to figure out how he could do this. “If only I could just go to these places myself! Too bad I can’t just hop on a plane and visit Ancient Egypt like I visited Tahiti last year . . . .” That’s when he was struck by an idea. What if he built a time machine and visited these ancient cultures himself? This is what he did, and thus started his adventure of time travel around the world...

By reading this book, you’ll learn about ancient cultures. You’ll see the differences and similarities between modern and ancient cultures and realize that some things about human nature and the world have changed, but some have also stayed the same. Not only will you learn about history by reading this book, but you will also improve your English skills. So join Arthur’s adventures of time travel around the world. It’s a journey you’ll never forget!
